Securly

What is Securly?

Bristol is excited to announce a district-wide partnership with Securly in safeguarding our students and your children.

Securly is a student safety company that administers a web filtering management tool specifically to:

• Detect self-harm/inappropriate online student searches and content.
• Notify schools and guardians of unsafe and inappropriate searches and content.
• Provide insight into children’s online activity differentiating between school and home use.

Securly protects more than 10 million students across the US at school and at home, plus over 2 million parents engaging in their child’s activity on school devices by:

• Providing a safer, more productive digital world for our students.
• Being dedicated to keeping young minds healthy, engaged, and inspired.
• Adhering to strong data privacy and management laws.

Through this partnership, the students of Bristol School District #1 will be protected on any device when using a Bristol-issued Google Workspace account AND searching online under their Bristol-issued Google profile (username and password).*

*It is not based on the Google application being used but on the Google profile that is in use/synced.
